A Mid-Year Highlight: The Shoreline Super Deluxe Carved Carpet
In September, we launched the unique Shoreline Super Deluxe Carved Carpet, which has quickly become a favourite across the UK and Europe. This beautifully hand-crafted carpet received glowing feedback, including from one teacher who shared:
“It is super soft and comfy to sit and play on, and is nice and tactile. The colours are bright and vibrant, and we love the different parts e.g., the path, hills, and beach.”
We’re thrilled that this product has brought so much joy to classrooms already, and are looking forward to launching the full range of Super Deluxe Carpets in January.
Engaging with Customers Across the Globe
Our Business Development Team has been busy meeting with customers, attending conferences, and showcasing our products at events worldwide this year.
Nurnberg Toy Fair: We were delighted to exhibit again, alongside our colleagues at One for Fun. This event allowed us to connect with customers old and new, unveil new products, and share some exciting concepts in development.
GESS Dubai: Chris attended the GESS conference to meet existing and potential customers while exploring the latest industry trends in the Middle East. This will now be a permanent feature in our sales calendar.
ED Spaces, USA: Laura travelled to Houston to learn more about the U.S. education market, school spending trends, and trade opportunities. One for Fun already sell into this market and we hope to be joining them soon.
